National award win for South West coach experts

Bakers Dolphin, which provides coach tours and international holidays to people in the South West, has been named Best Coach Operator for Groups at a prestigious national award ceremony.

The firm, which has its headquarters in Weston-super-Mare and operates across the South West, took home the gong from the Group Travel Awards which took place at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London.

The awards brought together hundreds of industry professionals to celebrate the best suppliers to the group travel industry.

Bakers Dolphin Sales and Marketing Director, Amanda Harrington, said: “We are absolutely delighted to win Best Coach Operator for Groups at the Group Travel Awards.

“We specialise in group travel and our team of specialist travel advisers put a lot of organisation and thought into making sure each part of the trip is perfect for each individual customer. From the comfort of the travel to the hotels and excursions, we painstakingly plan every step.

“The fact that these awards were based on feedback from customers makes it all the more special to have won. The work we put in to making our tours as enjoyable and memorable as they can be is all worth it when we hear from people about the great time they’ve had.”

The Group Travel Awards are voted for by readers of Group Travel Organiser magazine. Readers vote for their favourite suppliers in more than 20 categories, taking into account everything from pre-travel information and transport to hotels and attractions.
